The food diary

Monday, January 30th, 2012

We’ve met a lot of lovely people since opening Trove and one of them is Nicole. Nicole is a food stylist as well as a chef for Green’s in Didsbury. She often stops by with her husband and two children and has been very supportive of our venture.

Last week Nicole and Darren, from shoot the moon photograpy, used our cafe for a styling shoot for a food photography competition (Good luck Darren). This is what Nicole wrote about it.

A nice photographer named Marc Provins wrote a blog post about us yesterday, and below are a couple of his photos of Trove. We like them very much and we liked him too! Thank you Marc.

We’ve updated our little magazine ready for the printers. You’ll notice a few typography changes and an addition to an interview (sorry Mr Robinshaw)!

As you will see from the walls of Trove one of our favourite artists is Nigel Peake. We really like his work, especially his books.

Rochelle Canteen

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

We’ve recently heard about Rochelle Canteen, the brainchild of Melanie Arnold & Margot Henderson — caterers and restaurateurs based in Shoreditch, London. They cook up weekday lunches which change daily, from a converted bike shed on a grass-covered Victorian school playground, and put a heavy emphasis on their original menus made up of the freshest and healthiest produce they can find. Nice!

The lovely folk from lovelevenshulme blog visited us yesterday. We were very excited to have them, and a little bit nervous too, but they wrote a lovely post about us so we need not worry.
